buffered_stream

Adds buffering to the read- and write-related operations of a stream.

    typename Stream>
class buffered_stream :
  noncopyable
Types

Name

Description

lowest_layer_type

The type of the lowest layer.

next_layer_type

The type of the next layer.

Member Functions

Name

Description

async_fill

Start an asynchronous fill.

async_flush

Start an asynchronous flush.

async_read_some

Start an asynchronous read. The buffer into which the data will be read must be valid for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.

async_write_some

Start an asynchronous write. The data being written must be valid for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.

buffered_stream

Construct, passing the specified argument to initialise the next layer.

close

Close the stream.

fill

Fill the buffer with some data. Returns the number of bytes placed in the buffer as a result of the operation. Throws an exception on failure.

Fill the buffer with some data. Returns the number of bytes placed in the buffer as a result of the operation, or 0 if an error occurred.

flush

Flush all data from the buffer to the next layer. Returns the number of bytes written to the next layer on the last write operation. Throws an exception on failure.

Flush all data from the buffer to the next layer. Returns the number of bytes written to the next layer on the last write operation, or 0 if an error occurred.

get_io_service

Get the io_service associated with the object.

in_avail

Determine the amount of data that may be read without blocking.

io_service

(Deprecated: use get_io_service().) Get the io_service associated with the object.

lowest_layer

Get a reference to the lowest layer.

Get a const reference to the lowest layer.

next_layer

Get a reference to the next layer.

peek

Peek at the incoming data on the stream. Returns the number of bytes read. Throws an exception on failure.

Peek at the incoming data on the stream. Returns the number of bytes read, or 0 if an error occurred.

read_some

Read some data from the stream. Returns the number of bytes read. Throws an exception on failure.

Read some data from the stream. Returns the number of bytes read or 0 if an error occurred.

write_some

Write the given data to the stream. Returns the number of bytes written. Throws an exception on failure.

Write the given data to the stream. Returns the number of bytes written, or 0 if an error occurred.

The buffered_stream class template can be used to add buffering to the synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations of a stream.

Thread Safety

Distinct objects: Safe.

Shared objects: Unsafe.
